About our home

We have a 70 square meter apartment on the 16th & top floor of a modern residential building here in the seaside city of Recife, Brazil. Our front balcony faces East towards the visible sea coast and the kitchen area faces West in the direction of Recife's International Airport and hilly country beyond. Our sitting and dining room occupies one third of the apartment while the other two thirds contain our main bedroom complete with bathroom and closet, our office or reading room which can double as another bedroom, and an independent bathroom. The small but very adequate kitchen area has also a complete bathroom attached. The apt. is very well ventilated due to its height and proximity to the coast. We have all the necessary furniture, electronic and household appliances needed for a comfortable existence by a middle class modern couple living in a warm tropical climate.

We love our neighbourhood here very much. We live in a very tranquil and friendly suburb. Within a 1 kilometer radius we have half a dozen shopping centers. There are several churches, medical clinics, pharmacies, beauty saloons, cinemas, restaurants and physical activity outlets nearby. All these facilities as well as bus stops and subway stations can be walked to within ten to fifteen minutes. One of the most beautiful beaches in Brazil, Boa Viagem Beach, is 2 kilometers away and the International Airport lies 1 kilometer in the opposite direction. Main roads to the city center and other suburbs pass near us here but do not compromise in any way our peaceful life style.

We are a retired Irish Brazilian teacher couple who like to travel for part of the year. We are interested in the world around us and the people that we meet up with. We are in good health and do everything to try and mantain a good quality of life for as long as possible. We speak English and Portuguese fluently.
